4. Required Registration.

(a) At any time after the earlier of (i) five (5) years after the date hereof, or (ii) 180 days after an IPO, the holders of Restricted Stock constituting at least 40% in interest of the total shares of Restricted Stock then outstanding may request the Company to register under the Securities Act the shares of Restricted Stock held by such requesting holder or holders for sale in the manner specified in such notice, provided that the offering has an anticipated aggregate offering price that exceeds $15,000,000. For purposes of this Section 4 and Sections 5, 6, 15(a) and 15(f), the term “Restricted Stock” shall be deemed to include the number of shares of Restricted Stock which would be issuable to a holder of Preferred Shares upon conversion of all Preferred Shares; provided, however, that the only securities which the Company shall be required to register pursuant hereto shall be shares of Common Stock; provided, further, however, that, in any underwritten public offering contemplated by this Section 4 or Sections 5 and 6, the holders of Preferred Shares shall be entitled to sell such Preferred Shares to the underwriters for conversion and sale of the shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion or exercise and conversion, as applicable, thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no request may be made under this Section 4 within 180 days after the effective date of any registration statement on Form S-1 filed by the Company; provided that holders of Restricted Stock have been provided the opportunity to register their respective shares of Restricted Stock held by them pursuant to Section 5 of this Agreement.

(b) Following receipt of any notice under this Section 4, the Company shall immediately notify all holders of Restricted Stock and Preferred Shares from whom notice has not been received and such holders shall then be entitled within 30 days thereafter to request the Company to include in the requested registration all or any

 

6


portion of their shares of Restricted Stock. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to register under the Securities Act, for public sale in accordance with the method of disposition described in paragraph (a) above, the number of shares of Restricted Stock specified in such notice (and in all notices received by the Company from other holders within 30 days after the giving of such notice by the Company). The Company shall be obligated to register Restricted Stock pursuant to this Section 4 on two (2) occasions only; provided, however, that such obligation shall be deemed satisfied only when a registration statement covering all shares of Restricted Stock specified in notices received as aforesaid for sale in accordance with the method of disposition specified by the requesting holders shall have become effective and, if such method of disposition is a firm commitment underwritten public offering, all such shares shall have been sold pursuant thereto (not including shares eligible for sale pursuant to the underwriters’ over-allotment option) or it is closed or withdrawn at the request of the holders of Restricted Stock (other than as a result of a material adverse change to the Company).

(c) The Company shall be entitled to include in any registration statement referred to in this Section 4, shares of Common Stock to be sold by the Company for its own account, except as and to the extent that, in the good faith opinion of the managing underwriter, such inclusion would adversely affect the marketing of the Restricted Stock to be sold. Except for registration statements on Forms S-4, S-8 or any successor thereto, the Company will not file with the Commission any other registration statement with respect to its Common Stock, whether for its own account or that of other stockholders, from the date of receipt of a notice from requesting holders requesting sale pursuant to an underwritten offering pursuant to this Section 4 until the completion of the period of distribution of the registration contemplated thereby.

(d) If in the good faith opinion of the managing underwriter the inclusion of all of the Restricted Stock requested to be registered under this Section would adversely affect the marketing of such shares, shares to be sold by the holders of Restricted Stock, if any, shall be excluded only after any shares to be sold by other stockholders and the Company have been excluded, in such manner that the shares to be sold shall be allocated among the selling holders pro rata based on their ownership of Restricted Stock.

5. Incidental Registration. If the Company at any time (other than pursuant to Section 4 or Section 6) proposes to register any of its securities under the Securities Act for sale to the public, whether for its own account or for the account of other security holders or both (except with respect to registration statements on Forms S-4, S-8 or another form not available for registering the Restricted Stock for sale to the public), each such time it will give written notice to all holders of outstanding Restricted Stock (and Preferred Shares) of its intention so to do. Upon the written request of any such holder, received by the Company within 30 days after the giving of any such notice by the Company, to register any of its Restricted Stock, the Company will cause the Restricted Stock as to which registration shall have been so requested to be included in the securities to be covered by the registration statement proposed to be filed by the Company, all to the extent requisite to permit the sale or other disposition by the holder of such Restricted Stock so registered. In the event that any registration pursuant to this Section 5 shall be, in whole or in part, an underwritten public offering of Common Stock, the number of

 

7


shares of Restricted Stock to be included in such an underwriting may be reduced (pro rata among the requesting holders based upon the number of shares of Restricted Stock owned by such holders) if and to the extent that the managing underwriter shall be of the opinion in good faith that such inclusion would adversely affect the marketing of the securities to be sold by the Company therein, provided further that in no event shall the number of Restricted Stock included in the offering be reduced below thirty percent (30%) of the total number of securities included in such offering, unless such offering is the IPO, in which case the selling holders may be excluded further if the underwriters make the determination described above and no other stockholder’s securities are included in such offering. In connection with any reduction in the number of shares pursuant to this Section 5, the shares to be registered by the holders of Restricted Stock will only be reduced after all other stockholders’ shares are first reduced. There shall be no limitation on the number of registrations which may be requested and obtained under this Section 5.

6. Registration on Form S-3. If at any time (i) the holders of Restricted Stock representing at least 10% in interest of the total shares of Restricted Stock then outstanding request that the Company file a registration statement on Form S-3 or any successor thereto for a public offering of all or any portion of the shares of Restricted Stock held by such requesting holder or holders, and (ii) the Company is a registrant entitled to use Form S-3 or any successor thereto to register such shares, then the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to register under the Securities Act on Form S-3 or any successor thereto, for public sale in accordance with the method of disposition specified in such notice, the number of shares of Restricted Stock specified in such notice; provided that the anticipated aggregate offering price in each registration on Form S-3 shall exceed at least $1,000,000. Whenever the Company is required by this Section 6 to use its reasonable best efforts to effect the registration of Restricted Stock, each of the procedures and requirements of Section 4 (including but not limited to the requirement that the Company notify all holders of Restricted Stock (including Preferred Shares) from whom notice has not been received and provide them with the opportunity to participate in the offering) shall apply to such registration, provided, however, that there shall be no limitation on the number of registrations on Form S-3 which may be requested and obtained under this Section 6, and provided, further, however, that the requirements contained in the first sentence of Section 4(a) shall not apply to any registration on Form S-3 which may be requested and obtained under this Section 6.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6, the Company shall not be required to effect more than two (2) registrations pursuant to this Section 6 in any calendar year.

7. Registration Procedures. If and whenever the Company is required by the provisions of Sections 4, 5 or 6 to use its reasonable best efforts to effect the registration of any shares of Restricted Stock under the Securities Act, the Company will, as expeditiously as possible:

(a) prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement (which, in the case of an underwritten public offering pursuant to Section 4, shall be on Form S-1 or other form of general applicability satisfactory to the managing underwriter selected as therein provided) with respect to such securities and use its reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to become and remain effective for the period of the distribution contemplated thereby (determined as hereinafter provided);

10


(l) permit any holder of Restricted Stock which holder, in the sole and exclusive judgment, exercised in good faith, of such holder, might be deemed to be a controlling person of the Company, to participate in good faith in the preparation of such registration or comparable statement and to require the insertion therein of material, furnished to the Company in writing, which in the reasonable judgment of such holder and its counsel should be included, subject to review by the Company and its counsel after consultation with such holder.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party hereunder of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party hereunder, notify the indemnifying party in writing thereof, but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to such indemnified party other than under this Section 9 and shall only relieve it from any liability which it may have to such indemnified party under this Section 9 if and to the extent the indemnifying party is prejudiced by such omission. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and, to the extent it shall wish, to assume and undertake the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume and undertake the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 9 for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation and of liaison with counsel so selected, provided, however, that, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be reasonable defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party or if the interests of the indemnified party reasonably may be deemed to conflict with the interests of the indemnifying party, the indemnified party shall have the right to select a separate counsel and to assume such legal defenses and otherwise to participate in the defense of such action, with the expenses and fees of such separate counsel and other expenses related to such participation to be reimbursed by the indemnifying party as incurred.

(d) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution to joint liability under the Securities Act in any case in which either (i) any holder of Restricted Stock exercising rights under this Agreement, or any controlling person of any such holder, makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 9 but it is judicially determined (by the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case notwithstanding the fact that this Section 9 provides for indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution under the Securities Act may be required on the part of any such selling holder or any such controlling person in circumstances for which indemnification is provided under this Section 9 then, and in each such case, the Company and such holder will contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which they may be subject (after contribution from others) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of each of the parties in connection with the statements, omissions, or other actions that resulted in such loss, claim, damage, liability, or expense, as well as to reflect any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the

 

13


untrue or allegedly untrue statement of a material fact, or the omission or alleged omission of a material fact, relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission; provided, however, that, in any such case, (A) no such holder will be required to contribute any amount in excess of the net proceeds from the public offering of all such Restricted Stock sold by it pursuant to such registration statement; and (B) no person or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

10. Changes in Common Stock or Preferred Shares. If, and as often as, there is any change in the Common Stock or the Preferred Shares by way of a stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification, or through a merger, consolidation, reorganization or recapitalization, or by any other means, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the provisions hereof so that the rights and privileges granted hereby shall continue with respect to the Common Stock and the Preferred Shares as so changed.

11. Rule 144 Reporting. With a view to making available the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the Commission which may at any time permit the sale of the Restricted Stock to the public without registration, at all times after the first registration statement covering a public offering of securities of the Company under the Securities Act shall have become effective, the Company agrees to:

(a) make and keep current public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144;

(b) use its reasonable best efforts to file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act; and

(c) furnish to each holder of Restricted Stock forthwith upon request a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of such Rule 144 and of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company, and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company as such holder may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the Commission allowing such holder to sell any Restricted Stock without registration.

12. Right of First Refusal.

(a) Right of First Refusal. The Company shall not issue, sell or exchange, agree or obligate itself to issue, sell or exchange, or reserve or set aside for issuance, sale or exchange, any (i) shares of Common Stock, (ii) any other equity security of the Company, including without limitation, Preferred Shares, (iii) any debt security of the Company (other than debt with no equity feature) including without limitation, any debt security which by its terms is convertible into or exchangeable for any equity

 

14


security of the Company, (iv) any security of the Company that is a combination of debt and equity, or (v) any option, warrant or other right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any such equity security or any such debt security of the Company, unless in each case the Company shall have first offered to sell such securities (the “Offered Securities”) to the Investors (each an “Offeree” and collectively, the “Offerees”) as follows: Each Offeree shall have the right to purchase (x) that portion of the Offered Securities as the number of shares of Restricted Stock then held by such Offeree bears to the total number of shares of Common Stock, on a fully diluted basis (the “Basic Amount”) and (y) such additional portion of the Offered Securities as such Offeree shall indicate it will purchase should the other Offerees subscribe for less than their Basic Amounts (the “Undersubscription Amount”), at a price and on such other terms as shall have been specified by the Company in a writing delivered to such Offeree (the “Offer”), which Offer shall contain the material terms of the Offer, the prospective other purchasers of such securities, and such Offeree’s Basic Amount and which Offer by its terms shall remain open and irrevocable for a period of twenty (20) business days from receipt of the Offer.

(b) Notice of Acceptance. Notice of each Offeree’s intention to accept, in whole or in part, any Offer made pursuant to Section 12(a) shall be evidenced by a writing signed by such Offeree and delivered to the Company prior to the end of the 20-business-day period of such offer, setting forth such of the Offeree’s Basic Amount as such Offeree elects to purchase and, if such Offeree shall elect to purchase all of its Basic Amount, such Undersubscription Amount as such Offeree shall elect to purchase (the “Notice of Acceptance”). If the Basic Amounts subscribed for by all Offerees are less than the total of all Basic Amounts of all Offerees, then each Offeree who has set forth Undersubscription Amounts in its Notice of Acceptance shall be entitled to purchase, in addition to the Basic Amounts subscribed for, all Undersubscription Amounts it has subscribed for; provided, however, that should the Undersubscription Amounts subscribed for exceed the difference between the total of all Basic Amounts and the Basic Amounts subscribed for (the “Available Undersubscription Amount”), each Offeree who has subscribed for any Undersubscription Amount shall be entitled to purchase only that portion of the Available Undersubscription Amount as such Offeree’s Basic Amount bears to the total Basic Amount of all Offerees that has subscribed for any Undersubscription Amount, subject to rounding to the nearest whole share by the Board of Directors to the extent it reasonably deems necessary.

(c) Conditions to Acceptances and Purchase.

(i) Permitted Sales of Refused Securities. In the event that Notices of Acceptance are not given by the Offerees in respect of all the Offered Securities, the Company shall have thirty (30) days from the expiration of the period set forth in Section 12(a) to close the sale of all or any part of such Offered Securities as to which a Notice of Acceptance has not been given by the Offerees (the “Refused Securities”) to the Person or Persons specified in the Offer, but only for cash and otherwise in all respects upon terms and conditions, including, without limitation, unit price and interest rates, which are no more favorable to such other Person or Persons or less favorable to the Company than those set forth in the Offer.

 

15


(ii) Reduction in Amount of Offered Securities. In the event the Company shall propose to sell less than all the Refused Securities (any such sale to be in the manner and on the terms specified in Section 12(c)(i) above), then each Offeree may, at its sole option and in its sole discretion, reduce the number of, or other units of the Offered Securities specified in its respective Notices of Acceptance to an amount which shall be not less than the amount of the Offered Securities which the Offeree elected to purchase pursuant to Section 12(b) multiplied by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which shall be the amount of Offered Securities which the Company actually proposes to sell, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the amount of all Offered Securities. In the event that any Offeree so elects to reduce the number or amount of Offered Securities specified in its respective Notices of Acceptance, the Company may not sell or otherwise dispose of more than the reduced amount of the Offered Securities until such securities have again been offered to the Offerees in accordance with Section 12(a).

(iii) Closing. Upon the closing, which shall include full payment to the Company, of the sale to such other Person or Persons of all or less than all the Refused Securities, the Offerees shall purchase from the Company, and the Company shall sell to the Offerees, the number of Offered Securities specified in the Notices of Acceptance, as reduced pursuant to Section 12(c)(ii) if the Offerees have so elected, upon the terms and conditions specified in the Offer. The purchase by the Offerees of any Offered Securities is subject in all cases to the preparation, execution and delivery by the Company and the Offerees of a purchase agreement relating to such Offered Securities reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Offerees and their respective counsel.

(d) Further Sale. In each case, any Offered Securities not purchased by the Offerees or other Person or Persons in accordance with Section 12(c) may not be sold or otherwise disposed of until they are again offered to the Offerees under the procedures specified in Sections 12(a), 12(b) and 12(c).

(e) Termination of Right of First Refusal. The rights of the Offerees under this Section 12 shall terminate immediately prior to, but subject to, the consummation of a Qualified Initial Public Offering or a Deemed Liquidation Event (as defined in the Certificate of Incorporation); provided, however, that the rights of the Investors pursuant to this Section 12 may be waived as to all of such Investors by the Requisite Vote, and any such waiver shall be binding on all Investors, even if any of such Investors does not execute such waiver and irrespective of whether one or more Investors participates in the purchase of the Offered Securities, and provided further that notwithstanding any waiver of any of the provisions of this Section 12, in the event any Major Investor actually purchases Offered Securities in any offering by the Company, then each other Major Investor shall be permitted to participate in such offering on a pro rata basis (based on the level of participation of the Major Investor purchasing the largest portion of such Major Investor’s Basic Amount), in accordance with the other provisions (including the notice and election periods) set forth in Section 12.

(f) Exception. The rights of the Investors under this Section 12 shall not apply to Exempt Securities as defined in Article IV, Section 5D of the Certificate of Incorporation.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Existing Observer attends (or, in the case of a telephonic meeting, listens by telephone to) any such meeting of the Board of Directors, then such Existing Observer shall be deemed to have had proper notice of such meeting. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the failure of an Existing Observer to be given notice of a meeting of the Board of Directors pursuant to the immediately preceding two sentences or to attend such meeting shall not in any way affect the authority of the Board of Directors to have or to adopt resolutions at such meeting or the legitimacy of any actions taken by the Board of Directors at such meeting.

Prior to attending or listening to any meeting of the Board of Directors or obtaining any documents or summaries of such meetings, each Existing Observer shall agree in writing to be bound by the same duties of confidentiality, good faith and loyalty as if such Observer were a director of the Company. If the Company takes any action by written consent of the Board of Directors in lieu of a meeting of the Board of Directors, then the Company shall give prompt written notice of such action to the Existing Observers.

or, in any case, at such other address or addresses as shall have been furnished in writing to the Company (in the case of a holder of Preferred Shares, Conversion Shares or Restricted Stock) or to the holders of Preferred Shares, Conversion Shares or Restricted Stock (in the case of the Company) in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph.

(c) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware as to matters within the scope thereof, and as to all other matters shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without regard to its principles of conflicts of laws.

(d) This Agreement may not be amended or modified, and no provision hereof may be waived, without the Requisite Vote; provided, that any amendment, modification and/or waiver of any provision hereof, so consented to by the Requisite Vote, shall be binding on all holders of Restricted Stock.

(e) This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Counterparts may be delivered via facsimile, electronic mail (including pdf) or other transmission method and any counterpart so delivered shall be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes.

(f) The obligations of the Company to register shares of Restricted Stock under Sections 4, 5 or 6 shall terminate upon the earliest to occur of:

(i) the closing of a Deemed Liquidation Event, as such term is defined in the Certificate of Incorporation; or

(ii) such time as Rule 144 or another similar exemption under the Securities Act is available for the sale of all such Investor’s shares without limitation during a three-month period without registration.

(g) In connection with the IPO of the Company, each Investor hereby agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of the managing underwriter, during the period commencing on the date of the final prospectus relating to the IPO, and ending on the date specified by the Company and the managing underwriter (such period not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days, or such other period as may be requested by the Company or an underwriter to accommodate regulatory restrictions on (1) the publication or other distribution of research reports and (2) analyst recommendations and opinions, including, but not limited to, the restrictions contained in FINRA Rule 2711(f)(4) or NYSE Rule 472(f)(4), or any successor provisions or amendments thereto), (i) lend; offer; pledge; sell; contract to sell; sell any option or contract to purchase; purchase any option or contract to sell; grant any option, right, or warrant to purchase; or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable (directly or indirectly) for Common Stock (whether such shares or any such securities are then owned by the

 

25


Investor or are thereafter acquired) or (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of such securities, whether any such transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or other securities, in cash, or otherwise. The foregoing provisions of this Section 15(g) shall not apply to the sale of any shares to an underwriter pursuant to an underwriting agreement, and shall be applicable to the Investors only if all officers, directors and all stockholders individually owning more than one percent (1%) of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock (after giving effect to conversion into Common Stock of all outstanding Preferred Stock) are subject to the same restrictions. provided, that the foregoing provisions shall only be applicable to the Investors if all stockholders, officers and directors are treated similarly with respect to any release prior to the termination of the lock-up period (including any extension thereof) such that if any such persons are released all Investors shall also be released to the same extent on a pro rata basis. The underwriters in connection with the IPO are intended third-party beneficiaries of this Section 15(g) and shall have the right, power, and authority to enforce the provisions hereof as though they were a party hereto. Each Investor further agrees to execute such agreements as may be reasonably requested by the underwriters in connection with the IPO that are consistent with this Section 15(g) or that are necessary to give further effect thereto.

(h) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4(a), the Company’s obligation to file a registration statement, or cause such registration statement to become and remain effective, shall be suspended for a period not to exceed 60 days in any 12 month period if there exists at the time material non-public information relating to the Company which, in the reasonable opinion of the Company, should not be disclosed.

(i) The Company shall not grant to any third party any registration rights to demand a registration of shares of the Company’s capital stock unless (A) the Company first receives written consent by the holders of at least a majority of the Restricted Shares or (B) such registration rights are subordinate to the registration rights of the Investors as set forth in this Agreement.

(j) If any provision of this Agreement shall be held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, such illegality, invalidity or unenforceability shall attach only to such provision and shall not in any manner affect or render illegal, invalid or unenforceable any other provision of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be carried out as if any such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision were not contained herein.

16. Waiver of Right of First Refusal. All rights of Investors under Section 12 of the Third Amended and Restated Investor Rights Agreement are hereby waived with respect to the issuance of the Series E Preferred Stock pursuant to the Series E Purchase Agreement, including without limitation the right of first refusal and the right to notice. This waiver shall be binding upon all parties to the Third Amended and Restated Investor Rights Agreement upon the execution of this Agreement by the Company and the holders of a majority of the Restricted Stock (as defined in the Third Amended and Restated Investor Rights Agreement) pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Third Amended and Restated Investor Rights Agreement.
